Rise of the Dragon (PC) review"After the mayor’s daughter becomes the latest victim of a new drug that fatally mutates its users into twisted monstrosities, Blade reluctantly finds himself entangled with both the underworld Triads and an ancient Chinese prophecy proclaiming him the destined hero who either saves the world or gets “torn into thousands of itty-bitty pieces by the Evil One.”" |
LOS ANGELES, 2053
Congested nightmare, den of corruption, toxic wasteland of desperate living and urban decay – private dick William “Blade” Hunter’s apartment isn’t a pretty sight, and the post-apocalyptic city of L.A. surrounding it isn’t much better. But while it may look like something pulled straight out of Blade Runner, Dynamix’s Rise of the Dragon has more than enough of its own style to stand out from the hundred-plus graphic adventures released for the PC alone.
After the mayor’s daughter becomes the latest victim of a new drug that fatally mutates its users into twisted monstrosities, Blade reluctantly finds himself entangled with both the underworld Triads and an ancient Chinese prophecy proclaiming him the destined hero who either saves the world or gets “torn into thousands of itty-bitty pieces by the Evil One.”
